This Cursed House (2024)
Del Sandeen
"Del Sandeen's This Cursed House is a richly layered Southern Gothic about the cruelty of family secrets and the many different ways we can be cursed. This house is full of ghosts, but it's the people who are truly haunting. A wonderful debut!"
Small Town Horror (2024)
Ronald Malfi
"Ronald Malfi is a gifted writer. You fear for his characters because they feel like people you know, ordinary people with dire secrets. Small Town Horror gives us broken people wrapped up in a past that won't set them free, the kind of story Malfi has truly mastered. Nobody else can weave the kind of chilling, small-town horror story I grew up reading the way Malfi does. His writing is so strong and so of-the-moment that these horrors and fears tap into horror nostalgia while also feeling brand new. It's some kind of magic trick, which makes Malfi one hell of a magician."
Horror Movie (2024)
Paul Tremblay
"Tremblay's best work, now one of my favorite horror novels, period. Daring and original ... painful and emotional and filled with inexorable dread. The construction is masterful. This one is going to stay with me the way very few novels ever do."
